How to read text from PDF and HTML

I have got solution to read text form .txt file but did'nt get code for PDF and HTML.
I dont want to convert PDF to txt.
Please help me ...

reading from a file is always the same. using the same strategy used for a .txt will allow you to read a .pdf file.
Offcourse in itself it will be useless becuase pdf files have a special internal structure.
html files are identical to txt files.
What are you trying to accomplisch with the files you are reading ?

    Instead of cross-posting unformatted code you could have taken a look at the API, because there you might have come across a method named getLinks...Even though it's not documented, I really suspect that it will return the Hyperlinks on a given page.

  • How to read tags from pdf to print in different printers (PCL or PS)

    Hello from Spain.. I would apreciate some help who to read tags from pdf to discriminate PDF Production tag for send print PDF to printer job using driver PCL or PS. I get trubles when print PDFs files made by PDFcreator (Ghostscript, intermediate PDF from PS) in PCL job printer. I need to eval tags from PDF for send command line os javascript inside Adobe Acrobat to print in the correct job printer: PCL or PS...
    Thanks.

    As noted you cannot access the "Tag" of a PDF but you can access the meta data of a PDF and one of the items recorded in the meta data is the "producer". This meta data tag is supposed contain the name of the program that produced the PDF. One can access this through the "info" property or the "metadata" property of the doc object.
    var cProducer = this.info.Producer; // get the producer application for this PDF;
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    console.println("This PDF was created by " + cProducer);
    Be aware that the user can easily modify the Producer information with Acrobat, JavaScript, or other application after the PDF has been created.

  • Applescript or workflow to extract text from PDF and rename PDF with the results

    Hi Everyone,
    I get supplied hundreds of PDFs which each contain a stock code, but the PDFs themselves are not named consistantly, or they are supplied as multi-page PDFs.
    What I need to do is name each PDF with the code which is in the text on the PDF.
    It would work like this in an ideal world:
    1. Split PDF into single pages
    2. Extract text from PDF
    3. Rename PDF using the extracted text
    I'm struggling with part 3!
    I can get a textfile with just the code (using a call to BBEDIT I'm extracting the code)
    I did think about using a variable for the name, but the rename functions doesn't let me use variables.

    Hello
    You may also try the following applescript script, which is a wrapper of rubycocoa script. It will ask you choose source pdf files and destination directory. Then it will scan text of each page of pdf files for the predefined pattern and save the page as new pdf file with the name as extracted by the pattern in the destination directory. Those pages which do not contain string matching the pattern are ignored. (Ignored pages, if any, are reported in the result of script.)
    Currently the regex pattern is set to:
    /HB-.._[0-9]{6}/
    which means HB- followed by two characters and _ and 6 digits.
    Minimally tested under 10.6.8.
    Hope this may help,

  • How can I copy text from PDF and include the source filename in the pasted selection?

    I'm a biologist and frequently cut-and-paste notes from PDFs of scientific articles.  I name all of the PDF articles with their PubMed ID, a short unique identifier (e.g. 19397482.pdf).  When I take notes, I will select a few sentences from the PDF and then paste them into a text editor for later reference. 
    Can anyone suggest a method or script that would allow me to paste the copied text with the Pubmed filename included in a single action?  I would want the pasted output it to look something like this, with the filename appended to the end:
    Of the transcripts that were significantly different, there was a greater number of transcripts that were down-regulated in the IVC embryos (380) than the number of transcripts that were up-regulated (208).  [20668257.pdf]
    This would really help me to properly cite information sources during the writing process.  I know there are bibliography managers that might be able to do something like this, but I prefer to read the PDF articles directly in Preview and select the text as I am reading. 
    Thanks very much for any suggestions / ideas.
    jjw

    To copy and paste in a single action:
    tell application "Preview" to activate
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
        -- Get the PubMed ID:
        get the title of the front window
        set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
        -- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
        keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
        delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
        -- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
        set theNotes to the clipboard
        set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
    end tell
    tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
        -- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
        key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓
        keystroke return & return
        keystroke "v" using {command down} -- ⌘V

  • Copy text from PDF and paste to imessage

    Before iOS7 I would be able to copy text from a PDF file and paste it normally into a text message or imessage.  Now when doing the same thing it doesn't paste the actual text I copied, but it pastes as an html attachment.  Have I changed a setting or is this just a bug that needs to be fixed?  Please help.

    I get the PDF in an email and open to view it.  Not sure what the pdf opens in automatically, but that is the way I've been doing it since I've had the iphone 4 and haven't had issues until ios7. 
    I just now tried to opened a file in the default view and then switched it to open in Adobe reader and I can copy and paste normally.  So now i have to do an extra step all the time?

  • How to import text from Word and retain italics and/or indented text?

    Is it possible to import or copy text from Word into InDesign and retain italics or text that is indented in the Word version?

    just wanna edit wrote:
    Thank you, I think I understand the idea of "place" (which is what I would call "paste")
    The two are not at all the same. Paste involves copying text to the clipboard and then pasting from the clipboard. Place is an import operation.

  • Copying text from PDF and no spaces

    I  get a pdf of Investors Business Daily from thier site.  It is copy protected but I use PDFKey to unlock it, so I can copy text.  When I copy text and paste it elsewhere often there are no spaces between words, I at first thought it had to do with the justification they used.   However if I use Preview the spaces are there!   So why the difference?  I use acrobat pro vs. preview for other reasons.  Is there some setting in preferences?
    Second question.  On this site, upper right is a box and magnifing glass.  If I use that to search the forums I get results for ALL forums.  Anyway to limit the search to just the forum your in?

    Steve,
    I think you missunderstand.  Since IBD posts most of the articles on their webpage, and that is not copy protected I could just do that.  Also since I am not republishing the articles but merrily re-organizing them for my own use, this does NOT break copyright law (check laws about copying any copyrighted material for you own personel use).
    You must own a copy of the material being reproduced.          check, I am a subscriber
    Purpose of copying - for your own private use.                       check
    Copies cannot be lent or shared with anyone.                         check
    The work being copied must be a legal (i.e. non-pirate) copy.   check
    Beyond this there are also fair use and research and study laws, that, if they applied for my use, would still permmit copying the material.
    That aside, I am NOT asking for help in using PDF cracking software.  Infact, Preview copies the material from the original file just fine.
    All that PDFKey does is flip one bit in the file, it does not change spaces or spacing between words, throughout the file.
    I am just asking how can it be that copying the same material from one source file, using two different PDF reading apps, give different results.

  • Problems when i copy text from Pdf and paste on Word

    In Pdf documente the text is in perfect conditions, but, when i copy the text and paste in WORD document the character change into random crazy character like: "()*"*&!(!*"(!"(!)"( )*"()!*("!&("@*")(!*@"!*@(
    how i fix this??

    I have the same problem when copying the PDF into a Word file. I tried Save as RTF doc. and it is still just symbols.
    It could be a font problem, because it has some weird Gill Sans and Futura fonts. I am sending a picture as an example.
    The option of exporting as Tiff and then applying OCR is interesting but still is kind of slow when i have a 100 pages document. If the fonts is the problem is there any way i could select the whole text and apply it a known font like Arial?
    Thanks for any info!
    Cheers,
    Sebastian

  • Extract text from PDF and parse to Excel, automator? applescript?

    I'd been trying to do this with automator and have been getting nowhere. 
    I have some pdf files that have selectable, formatted text in them.
    Its an old college directory that I would like to import.  There are chunks of text:
    Name:  XXX, XXX
    Telephone: (XXX) XXX-XXXX        DOB:    XX/XX/XX          Gender: XXX
    Hometown:
    dflasdkfjdlkj

    etc.
    I'd like to find a way to extract the names, the phone numbers, and the hometowns and get it all into those respective columns in excel.  Seems that I don't stand a chance with automator.  Do I need a programmer for this?

  • How to read data from flatfile and insert into other relevant tables ? Please suggest me the query ?

    Hi to all,
    I have flat files in different location through FTP i need to fetch those files and load in the relavant table of the database.
    Please share me the query to do it ..

    You would need a ForEach Loop to iterate though the files. Initially the FTP task will pull the files from locations to a landing folder. Once thats done the ForEachLoop will iterate through files in the folder and will have a data flow task inside to transfer
    file data to tables.
    If you want a more secure option you can also use SFTP (Secured FTP) and can implement it using free WinSCP clinet. I've explained a method of doing it fo dynamic files here
    http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2012/12/implementing-dynamic-secure-ftp-process.html
    for iterating through files see this example
    http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2012/05/package-to-implement-daily-processing.html
    you may not need the validation step inside the loop in your case
    Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
